David Attenborough turns 100 years old on the 8th of May.
He is a human who has spent his time loving the diversity of life on this planet. His documentaries helped emphasise the biodiversity crisis while also infectiously spreading this love of other species.
My partner and I are thinking of having a small, gentle event on the day to recognise his life. Maybe a walk with friends, taking moments to stop and acknowledge the creatures around us.
Want to join us, wherever you are in the world?
@ephemeral Oh wow 8th of May is also when WWII ended in Europe. What a prestigious date.
Definitely sounds like a good idea and a man worth celebrating. Rather than just commemorating those who have walked this earth before us
@temporal_spider I'd never seen that one, thank you! My favourite's the dancing bird of paradise western parotia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnLE-G1hVAE
@ephemeral Thanks for the idea! We're now planning to visit a local nature reserve with picnic & sketchbooks.
@ephemeral I hope the crew at @RRSSirDavidAttenborough make a party on that occasion!
Oh that would be cool, I'm In!
That guy should, like, automatically get all the prices he still haven't yet received, for his birthday! 🤩
